Yes, in a charmap tool like babelmap, U+22D3 DOUBLE UNION and U+22D2 DOUBLE INTERSECTION are confused (standing upside down?), but blame STIXGeneral -- XITS just inherits the mistake. if a student copies a wrong answer from another student, than that other student is to blame and the first on

[XeTeX] \hyphenation{} and combining diacritics

2011-07-08 Thread Joshua and Amy
I'm creating some hyphenation rules for Jarai texts that I'm interlinearizing. Here's the problem: In various texts, a complex character such as LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE might be encoded as a single code point (U+0103) or as a combination of code points (LATIN SMALL LETTER A: U+0061 plus COM

So, I guess I was foolish to hope that Google has figured out how to return results that have non-identical but equivalent strings? I hope it's not too off-topic for this list, but can you point me to any good resources on normalization (is there a straightforward automation for someone who doesn'

Unicode normalization was discussed on this list a couple of months ago. Phil Taylor provided a small program to do the job, and other utilities were referred to. There's also a command within XeTeX that normalizes unicode before passing it to TeX's digestion. Try this in your header: % Normali

This is a better answer than mine, so disregard my noise. But I do have a question below: On Fri, 8 Jul 2011 23:13:41 +0200, Dominik Wujastyk wrote: > ... > There's also a command within XeTeX that normalizes unicode > before passing it to TeX's digestion. Try this in your header: > > % Norma

Many, thanks, all, and sorry for missing the earlier discussion. But back to my original question, is there a way to get \hyphenation to require only one form and the rest come for free? On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 5:37 PM, Jonathan Kew wrote: > On 8 Jul 2011, at 23:24, maxwell wrote: > > > I found \
